Case Note & Summary
The Supreme Court of India addressed a civil appeal concerning the revision of pay scales for employees of the State of Haryana. The appeal arose from a previous decision in Commissioner and Secretary to Government of Haryana and Ors. vs. Ram Sarup Ganda and Ors., which established guidelines for revising pay scales and addressing salary anomalies. The court noted that if employees, upon fixation of ACP scales, received lesser salaries than their juniors, their salaries should be stepped up accordingly. The court ordered that revised pay scales be implemented within two months of the order's receipt by the government and that no refunds would be demanded from employees who might owe money due to the revision. Any amounts owed to employees as a result of the pay revision were to be disbursed within six months. The appeal was thus disposed of with these directions.
